Any Real Benefits to Taking High Doses of Vitamin Supplements?

Am I just wasting money by taking high doses of vitamins A D E C and Zinc supplements? (I take the following doses: E - 800 IU, C - 500 IU, zinc - 22mg, Beta carotene - 10000 IU, D3 - 1000 IU). Are there any real benefits to taking anything other than a multi vitamin pill for someone who is healthy and who eats a well balanced diet? I thought I might improve my complexion by taking these vitamins internally rather than applying lotions containing vitamins A C E topically.
